Industry leading courses

Few careers give more direct pleasure than creative subjects, with their unique combination of imaginative thinking and creative development. Whether you choose to follow an artistic career path or to use creative skills more broadly, there are many fulfilling opportunities within reach.

Entry to artistic programmes at Petroc is through our foundation degree courses in creative media production, art and contemporary craft and illustration. All these courses might lead to employment, self-employment, or further study.

Central to innovation, progress and performance beyond the creative arts, creativity in industry is a vital component of success. The BA (Hons) Professional Development explores the application of creative thinking, methodologies, and processes to business, opening opportunities for careers in any commercial context.

I enjoyed the “hands-on” practical feel that Petroc offered throughout the degree.
